I am a software engineer and  seeing that's what I attended college for that's the industry I've been employed in for the past 30 years. 

I personally think the market is overvalued right now, and I'm waiting until employment gains reverse again.

The index uses non-farm payroll employment, the index of industrial production, real personal income excluding transfer payments, and real manufacturing and trade sales - along with some fancy statistical transformations.Let's look at it recession by recession..T-0 is the month of the second consecutive occurrence of the index over 4.0% "D Day"T-1 is the month of the first occurrence.

If it was earned self employment income you would be taxed at 14% not including any income tax that might be due.

Market-based measures of inflation compensation have moved up considerably but still are low; most survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed, on balance, in recent months.Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability.

The issue is after the recession, we've had a group of graduates that are willing to work at lower wages and at the expense of currently employed professionals. 

I'm guessing that upon completing the coursework and passing the final exam, my certificate will denote that I successfully completed this particular class, which I can then show to prospective employers. 

@Kyle BrinksI am not sure if you ever got an answer.There are pros/cons in creating a management companyCons - You are converting income that is rental income to ordinary income that is possibly subject to self-employment income.There may be additional costs related to this strategy such as costs to create an additional entity, additional potential tax filings, possible payroll tax filings etc.

The best tool in there is their direct link to social media.More costly but worth it:We have access to a service called tracers that, for .50 per pull, gets us some of the most up to date info on anyone out there.We also employ a couple of private eyes that are somewhat entrepreneurial that will not only locate the owner but set up the appt for between 500-1000 per closed transaction.These are a few of the tools we use to locate our sellers...

Hi everyone,Not sure this is the right forum for such a post but ill lay it out here anyway.My current field of employment is on a huge downtrend.
